About

You may think that granola is healthy, but if you really study the label, you will find it is anything but. And, since I am not in the business of healthy eating, I wasn’t about to create a healthy version, either. My motto is everything in moderation, but I dare you to just eat a small amount of this. Try adding some to pancakes or simply sprinkling it over yogurt and fruit with mint and a drizzle of honey.
